License Fee: The monthly ongoing License Fee is a flat fee of $950 per month (U.S). By having a flat License Fee, Diet Center franchisees are able to keep more of what they earn and the License Fee becomes a fixed expense, instead of the traditional percentage of gross sales.

Advertising Development and Quality Assurance Fund: The monthly contribution to our Advertising Development and Quality Assurance Fund is $149 (U.S). By having a flat Advertising Fee, franchisees are also able to keep more of what they earn and the Advertising Fee becomes a fixed expense, instead of the traditional percentage of gross sales.
